Use Virtual Text Input in Virtual Output commando

[Gast]

I use Virtual Output Commands to start playing music on Chromecast Devices.

As sometimes the IP address changes, I'd like to make it dynamic.

I would like to input the IP address of the devies in the loxone app.

And then use that value in the virtual output commando.

I read a on the forum here but can't figure it out... anyone who has an idea?
Seems an easy use case. Thx!

You might be better to use hostnames or assigned ip addresses with dhcp, or use static ip addresses.
To get a dhcp device to always have assigned the same ip, usually is a setting in your internet/wifi router.

I've done this now - should work, ty for the suggestion. However would be nice to have a configurable solution.
